car now at engine tuner will post some details of the build as soon as Alan gets started on it

 

Very similar spec to mine, you will enjoy.

Be very interested to see how you get on with the ACT clutch, also very interested how the Milltek performs.

When's it going in for the work?

 

dropped car off at engine tuner sat so be about 6 weeks before i see it back

 

oh right, thumb twiddling with expectation then.

You aiming for 550 ish?

You already have FMIC fitted?

 

And so it starts

 

cosworth big valve heads

 

Heeeeeello!!!!

Subsrcribed

 

thought i would take the opportunity to refurb the cam covers and rad cooling panel

 

Very nice

 

Gonna be a nice build this.

 

decided to opt for the billet gt35r with .82ar hopefully get the same power figure with running a little less boost so hoping to run around just over 2 bar peak and hopefully around 2 bar held

 

What fuel do you plan to run?

 

Yep, 2 bar is marginal on vpower

 

looks like a great build and spec! any chassis/braking mods etc to compliment the new powerplant?

 

alan/martyn seem to think 600 is a realistic figure on v power with the cosworth heads and gt35 etc
coilovers and six pots on front
4 pot rears to follow

 

nice!

 

still having the engine built at moment so my seats finally arrived after 8 weeks


mix of corbeau rrs backs and rrx base heated leather to match the spec d interior allready in there
going to go with smooth bootlid with a jdm lip spoiler
picked up a new bootlid for 30.00 and 70.00 for the spoiler

 

Ooooh I do like those seats!

 

I have a 2.35 / gt3582r set up but without Avcs and that runs 560bhp at 2 Bar on plain vpower so with Avcs I'd say no problem getting 600.

No issues with plain vpower.

 

just had my timing belt covers and fuse box cover and rad brackets carbon dipped ready for d day
Alan if ur following this sorry i know u dont like carbon dipping

 

 

I love the specific this project, but I'm with Alyn on the carbon dipping.
Keep up the good work mate

 

yep know its a bit marmite but the red manifolds never stay clean and with this its soapy sponge and leather off
was going with the red crinkle effect but a nightmare to get a uniform finish tried it and in looks like someone has sneezed and sprayed red over it

 

6 weeks from drop off now, how's the progress with the engine.

 

not very far forward alan has been a bit busy and had staff off
really hoping for some progress within the next 2 weeks

 

Oh, shame, hope they can get cracking with it soon then.

 

That looks and is going to be a nice bit of kit
